1.1 Operating principle
UV-C light has a germicidal capacity that has been widely studied and
proven.
The genetic information of viruses, bacteria, fungi and other
microorganisms, responsible for their microbial replication, is stored in
the DNA and RNA chains. UV radiation is an electromagnetic radiation
capable of inhibiting the microorganisms’ ability to replicate by causing
photochemical changes in the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) that make up
the chains that keep their genetic information. It is a widely known method
of disinfection and suitable for various types of viruses, including SARS-CoV.
The point of maximum germicidal efficiency, when the DNA and RNA chains
absorb a greater amount of radiation, corresponds to wavelengths of 260
nm, which coincides with the wavelength of UV-C light.
SCARECROW disinfection system generates constant forced ventilation
in which the air in a room is recirculated, disinfecting it inside by UV-C
radiation. The lamps are completely hidden so the absolute safety of the
room to be disinfected is guaranteed.
